I feel like the issue with the bills usually is they don’t have an elite pass rusher that is gonna cause problems for even the best olinemen in the league. They’ve got quite a few solid-really good ones though that can win consistently with a good matchup and there should be good matchups out there

I’ve got a feeling he ain’t signing…seems kinda like a ‘make the real team I’m interested in more desperate’ move. Jets might end up with some coach you’d love for them even more still haha

I feel like they go on sale a lot earlier than that and you get a refund if the game doesn’t happen.

Outside of the goal line sequence there were more passes than runs in the second half by my count.it was actually less balanced than we’ve been in prior games in favor of the pass lol. our rush offense vs their rush defense was strength on strength, their secondary held up really well in pass coverage all night long and they tackled their a** off on the underneath stuff which let them stay in two high a lot. Giving up on the run would’ve been a mistake imo and there were quite a few run plays where we could’ve executed a lot better in the second half It’s seeming to get lost in the discourse also but we only had 4 drives in the second half (not counting the game sealer) and two of those were killed by a pretty ill fated TE screen audible and a drop/potential slip? for Kincaid. It was more self inflicted mistakes killing drives than playcalling imo whether the playcall was a run or pass. also to comment on the number 1 rush defense talk, they were also number 2 in sacks (Denver was 1 who we met the week before) and one of the best pass defenses in the league since shuffling some players around in the middle of the season. To me, the bills made improving the rushing offense a point of emphasis to win this exact style of playoff game where dbs are getting away with holds both ways and there’s not much available to you in the passing game. Trying to throw the ball all over the field in the second half easily could’ve gone worse with how the ravens were playing.

Yea I’m a bit puzzled by the objections to it lol. That was your classic ‘hold all their receivers’ type playoff defense with pretty bad field conditions sprinkled on top of it that we would’ve really struggled against in the past and we invested in the run game for literally that exact situation in the ‘wow look at Josh throw the ball all game’ days even throwing prime diggs and prime Beasley back in there Baltimore would’ve played two high all game and easily stopped the run while limiting the pass.

I’m thinking he was just completely gassed and didn’t want to be a liability on the last few plays. Seems like a coach wouldn’t want to make that public if true. I could def be wrong though it’s just a wild guess lol

Has brown looked 100%? I haven’t seen enough of him to be able to tell

Seems like we surprised the two best run defenses in a row with how successful we were running the ball on them. KC is gonna have to find a way to slow it down they bounced back pretty well the second half of the playoff game last year on defense but I think we’ve improved since then

Yes that is a very impressive regular season resume, you will find no argument here about that. but his playoff legacy is 0 tds and a ball clanking off him for an INT in the titans game and getting a ball punched out this year as well as a bunch of drops over the course of his 8 playoff games.. he’s every bit of ‘completely different player come playoff time’ as Lamar is if not more so

Idk that it makes a massive difference but I haven’t seen it mentioned here yet (maybe I missed it lol) Kincaid only played in 13 games this year regular season…seems worth noting

Dalton Kincaid was drafted last year and already has more playoff tds than Andrews and only 150 less receiving yards to be fair. It ain’t one rough game for andrews in the playoffs, he’s mostly a nonfactor Andrews played a pivotal role in the ravens blowing their divisional game as the 1 seed a few years ago too

We did essentially ‘13 seconds’ them in 2022 I’ve head that puts you on the naughty list 😂

He’s the 6th ranked TE in PFF 😂 figured sharing that fact would really spice up the debate lol

They don’t…sometimes it takes that long to come up with a good counterpunch though and I really don’t think Lamar was prepared for the extra linebacker and all the blitzes. I really don’t believe Harbaugh had a good week of preparation or a particularly good night of gameday coaching. He got there eventually but it took way too long

IF we win I don’t think it’ll be that close which feels weird to say lol. A win likely means we dominated in the trenches which seems to be how I’m seeing the game matchup wise but I could absolutely be wrong 😂 if we can’t do that mahomes/kelce will absolutely pull something out of their butt and win the game lol

Yea idk…this feels like a game the bills will be able to run and stop the run. KCs big impact playmakers seem to skew more to slowing down the passing game whether it be pass coverage or Chris jones rushing the passer and they have to be able to stop the run to give those guys a chance to make plays. the bills were running effectively on two teams that really nobody runs on to the point where Sean Payton pretty much admitted ‘yo I don’t understand how that happened’ in his press conference haha and kc has looked a little bit leaky in their rush defense as of late some of those late runs that got bottled up by Baltimore were there we just had a few execution errors. I think when people see a run fail they assume it was a bad call but a handful of them down the stretch weren’t.. and on top of all that, outside of the goal line sequence passes outnumbered runs pretty significantly in that second half and quite a few times josh looked to push it deep but ended up settling for a check down that went for a decent gain and kept everything on schedule

Brown,Milano,Kincaid, and Coleman were out

I think people aren’t factoring in that there were so few drives in the second half.. that Kincaid drop/not great throw whatever you want to call it and TE screen audible killed half the second half drives. Compare that to like the eagles/rams game that ended in a pretty similar score where each team had 7-8 second half drives.

This might spark a debate with our resident chiefs fans haha but I think the missing player additions assuming Milano is good to go is at worst a wash. We were down Milano,spencer brown (huge) Kincaid and Coleman (not as huge but still pretty meaningful) Milano and brown have been two of the best guys on the field for us the last two weeks

I still think damar intercepts that ball the vast majority of the time if it’s the play I’m thinking of, Lamar definitely got away with one there I don’t think he saw Hamlin at all. Probably should give them that Andrews fumble back and add an INT as far as getting it closer to ‘what should’ve happened’ goes lol

People are not remembering this correctly imo…the ‘vibe’ of the second half doesn’t really match what actually happened.. the second half ended up being somewhere in the 15 passes vs 13 runs ish range assuming I’m counting correctly and a lot of that was skewed by 5 straight runs leading up to/during the goal line sequence which if I’m understanding correctly people wanted runs still just sneaks instead of that shotgun run on the final play. Outside of that it was throws for the vast majority of the second half, we just shot ourselves in the foot throwing the ball in a few big spots

That holding call was absolutely massive momentum wise. I think the call itself was for sure worse than the Tre white call but both were definitely bad

It seems like they selected the ref the chiefs have a mediocre record with to avoid any possible controversy so you never know. I think it’s gonna be a classic no flags game with both sides absolutely manhandling eachother lol

I still don’t really see this after going through the game again. Lots of execution issues in the second half…the offense didn’t really fundamentally change between halves at all though to my eye there were only 4 total offensive drives outside of the game sealer, one was killed by a missed connection to Kincaid, one was killed by Josh probably reading the defense right but having false confidence in Knox to pick up that first on the TE screen audible, one was killed by what looked to me to be a pretty big hold of Shakir although maybe it’s uncatchable, the goal line sequence is certainly questionable but we valued taking that 8 point lead. I don’t think we ever doubled up on runs on any series of downs.. looked like Baltimore committed more resources to slowing down the run as their second half adjustment which probably should’ve made throwing easier we just weren’t connecting. Some of it was your classic playoff grabby defense which maybe we benefited from a bit too

This is exactly the kind of ‘grass is greener’ stuff I’m talking about. In your mind the SF defense played good and the offense let them down and the bills offense was high flying and let down by their defense? Final scores last year: Chiefs: 27 Bills: 24 Chiefs: 25 49ers: 22 let’s just talk about how those three teams/hcs have fared against mahomes+kc that you implied are upgrades: Shanahan: 0-5 career vs kc 0-2 playoffs Taylor: 3-3 career vs kc 1-1 playoffs **lost last 3 (1 playoff game) and fired DC Harbaugh: 1-5 career vs kc. 0-1 playoffs rolling those stats up into one, the teams you mentioned are 4-13 against KC (1-4 playoffs). Just Harbaugh and Shanahan are 1-10 against them and even that one win was awfully lucky. KC more or less had it sealed up and fumbled the game away. Those 3 dudes combined have as many wins against KC in the mahomes era as just McD lol. In the last two years, they are 0-7 and mcd is 2-1 with a shot at 3-1 it absolutely boggles my mind they get talked up with regards to kc and that some people around here have enough confidence in a completely unproven first time head coach to fire pretty much the only guy having any kind of success against kc in the league 😂 Reid would laugh his a** off if the bills fired mcd this year lol
